There's only one decent Austrian, one decent Austrian....

Interesting team. Looks like a 433 with Gibbs-White and McAtee playing as wingers?

You know you can do a Sync thing and it updates/adds them all automatically?

Is Partridge down?

3-5-2 apparently with Savona in the back three, Dom at right wing back and MGW up top with Kali.

Working for me. Is your mum streaming on the cam again and hogging the bandwidth?

No Ando - hopefully just rested..?

Yes they resting Ando. I would have rested MGW too but I guess Dyche thinks he is okay. Hopefully we can get ahead and he can be pulled off early.

Chicago: Hoping we play it safe.

That's what the BBC are saying it is - but you could equally interpret it as an Anfield-stylee narrow midfield in front of a back 4: Savona-Milenkovic-Morato-Neco: Domínguez-Yates-Sangaré-McAtee: MGW-Kalimuendo. Or a 4-3-3 (McAtee & MGW either side of Kali). Or a 4-3-2-1 (McAtee & MGW just behind Kali).

Let's hope the players have a clearer idea than we have, but on the whole I am pretty happy with that team, given the constraints of what is available. Perfect world sees MGW rested as well, but there ain't much on the bench to replace him in midfield - just Ndoye & assorted kids - so needs must, I guess.

Given how we've been effective, I'm not keen on having no wide players, and MGW is a security mixed bag out there, but it's what we've got. I'm pleased we are resting some.

Assume it's not the first time ever Dyche has played with a 3...?

Apparently Fray had them like this because you submit them in formation to UEFA, but a flat 4 does seem more likely.

According to Paul Taylor, yes. Nice that he's got his birthday off. Birrrrtles will be fuming.

As good a reason for doing it as most I have heard.

Cocks on the blocks time.

Kinderbueno to get on the score sheet. 3-1 to someone.

If they are in black, why aren’t we in red?

1-1.

Red and Black probably isn't ideal to be fair.

It looks shit on Bournemouth as well.
